Kansas Crops.
OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE STATE AGRI-
CULTURAL BOARD FOR THE
MONTH OF JULY.

The following is correct synopsis of
the report of the Kansas State Board of
Agriculture, for the month ending July
80, showing the acreage, condition and
product of the crops named:
Wheat, winter and spring Area
sown, 1872 OPS acres, decrease of 2S
per cent, or $50, 1866 acres, as compared
with last year. Area harvested, IA,
526 acres, about Sc per cent of the area
sown, the remaining Al per cent being
abandoned on account of drouth and
chinchbugs. The estimated product for
the state is 7,470,375 bushels, which
precludes the possibility of any surplus
above the needs of the people of the
state for seed and bread.
COrn-ThiS crop has dwindled from
condition from 100 to $50 per cent. at
the date of our last months report to
less than so per cent. of the annual
product for five years. The contin-
ued dry weather and the chinch-
bugs have combined to destroy what
seemed month ago to be the largest
crop of corn Kansas ever produced.
The southeastern and northeastern cor
ners of the state will furnish a good
average yield, and the majority of
counties will produce some good corn,
but the product for the state shows the
lightest yield per acre since 1874, and
will not be sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of our people within the
year. The area seeded is 6,442, 1923
acres, and the estimated product is U.s.
549, 1856 bushels, which will transfer
Kansas from the list of corn surplus
states this year.
Oats-Area sown, 1886, 1903 acres,
which is q per cent. larger than for
any former period. The estimated
yield per acre is about % bushels,
which places the product for the state
at Al 1881, 1853 bushels, an increase over
that for last year of IA per cent.
Rye-Area sown, 1882 acres
probable product, 2,105, 1886 bushels.
Barley-Area sown, 20,991 acres
probable product, 399, S21 bushels.
Condition and general promise of the
following, as compared with a five
years average.

Broom corn-Condition, rs per cent.

'Have you ever noticed" said an
engineer to a writer in the Chicago
Journal, lat a railroad crossing how
people will rush across the tracks just
ahead of the engine, and then stand on
the other side and watch the train go
by. It's a mighty curious thing;every-
body does it though, men, women and
children, Sometimes a whole family
will tear madly across the track as
though their existence depended upon
getting over ahead of the train, and
then all turn round and stare at the
train as it shoots past. Now, its the
easiest thing in the world to get your
foot caught between the ties or loose
boards at a crossing, and the majority
of the people killed by the cars are run
over while attempting to cross the
track ahead of the train. l can't begin
to understand why people with any
sense at all will continue to do this,
but they do"

Grand Army of the Republic Post
46, of Philadelphia, at meeting Tues
day evening, unanimously adopted a
resolution to appoint committee of
three to visit Washington and invite
President Cleveland to an open camp
fire during his visit to that city in Sep
TENDER. A member of the post, in
communicating It's action to the press,
says: The Philadelphia veterants are
loyal to the government, to the Presi-
dent and to their order, regardless of
politics." And the Philadelphia Times
in commenting on the action Of post
&c, says: Under any circumstances
the veterans of Philadelphia would pay
generous and loyal homage to the
President of the United States and the
commander-in-chief of the army; but
when brawlers threaten to plunge the
long-honored order into disloyalty to its
proclaimed non-partiean attitude as an
organization by wanton partisan insult
to the President the G.. A. r. veterans
of loyal Philadelphia will prove the
of the profession of the order
by demonstration to President Cleve-
land that will end for all time the
vocation of the partisan brawler in the
Grand Army. '--GettysblTg, PA Com

The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1887-08-18

A few days ago we published an
article showing that forty-three magis-
trates in Tennessee gave their reasons
for favoring the reelection of President
Cleveland, etc.
The editor of the Abilene Chronicle
replies by saying THAT they had not
done Cleveland justice. They ought to
have said because Cleveland had given
Office to ex-rebels, lucrative offices both
home and abroad, etc." adding much
more exploded political gossip.
Now the able editor of that sheet
knows, or ought to know, that republi-
can administrations soon after the war
appointed ex-rebels to lucrative home
and foreign offices. Is it wrong for
Cleveland to do just what Grant, Hayes,
Garfield and Arthur did? AS to
Cleveland turning out Union soldiers
to make room for rebels. the editor
must know that there are more Union
soldiers In the departments today in
Washington than there were before the
election of 1884. We have no DISPOSE
ton to get in a quarrel with our sister
editor, and will but add that in our
opinion true patriotism and love of
country, and every noble impulse of
our hearts, should prompt every lover
of our Union to allay and assuage sec
tional strife and illwill. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that we have persons claiming
superior loyalty, who should be national
and magnanimous, but are in truth
sectional, and who delight in keeping
once existing discord alive.

The Fall of Tuttle.

One good effect has followed the bat
tlefag controversy, and that is the
showing up of the military record OF
Gen. Tuttle, Grand Army chieftain,
who went so far as to threaten with
personal violence President Cleveland,
if the latter visited st. Louis during
the Grand Army encampment. 1t
would naturally be supposed that a
man guilty of such gross disrespect to
the head of the nation would also be an
arrant coward, but it is rather surpris-
ing that the evidence to that effect was
so quickly forthcoming.
The latest accuser of Tuttle is Cen
eral B. A. Farrar, a staunch republi-
can, prominent Grand Army man and
the officer who succeeded General Tut
tie in the command of the department
of Natchez. He is now a prosperous
manufacturer in st. Louis. Farrar
says Gen. Slocum had to remove Tuttle
from command at Fort Mcpherson, be-
cause of the cotton-jobbing rumors
that were attached to Tuttle's name.
When the latter was leaving in disgrace
ne tried to take $4,000 landau, which
had been confscated from a planter and
was used at department headquarters
A gunboat was sent after Tuttle and
the landau was found among his effects
and restored. The act of Tuttle did
much to bring the Union army into
disrepute among the southerns.
But this is not the worst of the
scandals associated with Tuttle's name.
When he was in command at Natchez.
he and lawyer named Hart would
bring about the summary arrest of cot
ton men, and then summarily release
them for money. 1t is said that the
aggregate hush money amounted to

signed in order to avoid a courtmartial.
